Chapter 126 Lily of the Valley
Leng Yue stood outside the inn, looking at Xin Youran and the so-called Master Qiu.
She was not interested in the incense-making master. It was really suspicious that this man wore a black robe in broad daylight.
Xin Youran: Maybe he is just an i person!
"Xiao Yueyue, why are you here?"
Leng Yue didn't waste any time talking to her. "The fact that Manager Xing of Mingyuzhai wants to discuss business with you has already been revealed to Ningxiang Pavilion."
"Well done, Xiao Yueyue. Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a nice dinner tonight. How about we go to the best restaurant in the capital?"
Leng Yue always felt that something was wrong, "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"
Xin Youran: ...
"Sister is rich now, I'm just treating you to a nice meal, pay attention to the pattern, the pattern!"
"Remember to settle the two days' accommodation and meal expenses with the shopkeeper."
Xin Youran understood that Leng Yue was in a bad mood and tried not to provoke her.
She quietly went to the innkeeper to settle the bill.
Since Ningxiang Pavilion knew that their competitor had taken action against her, they should have started to get anxious. If nothing unexpected happened, Manager Guo would come to Yuemanlou to find her tomorrow.
We can discuss the conditions then.
It was a rare opportunity to go out and relax tonight, and she thought Leng Yue’s bad mood must be related to Xia Hou Rui.
She still needed to persuade her sister, "Xiao Yueyue, what on earth did Xia Hourui do to you?"
"He's the culprit for your bad mood, right?"
"Would you feel better if he apologized to you?"
It wasn't until she saw Leng Yue's murderous eyes that Xin Youran realized, uh, she seemed to have said something wrong...
"Not a bit better!"
"Don't let me see him again. I'll beat him up every time I see him!"
At this moment, Xiahou Rui, who was following behind Mu Yuan, suddenly sneezed.
Who is scolding him again? Suddenly, that cute face with an expression that looks like it wants to eat someone appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This scene happened to be seen by Mu Yuan, "What happy things have happened to Lao Liu recently?"
Something that makes your heart happy?
It’s the one that pleases my heart!
Seeing his foolish look, Mu Yuan didn't expect to get any information out of him. "The Jade Hairpin Fairy must have been poisoned somewhere else, and the person who poisoned her must be someone who knows poisons very well. They sent her back to her room when the poison was about to take effect."
"He must be a frequent visitor to this wing. He never comes in through the main door, but through this window."
"The two of them still formed a tacit understanding. When he arrived, Yuzhixian had already opened this window in advance."
"Based on your and Qin Shaoqing's investigation of the people she came into contact with on the day she was murdered, the most likely suspect is Ningxiang Pavilion."
Xiahou Rui was a little puzzled. He had asked those people personally, and their movements sounded normal. He didn't find anyone suspicious.
"Why Ningxiang Pavilion?"
"Think about it, what is there in Ningxiang Pavilion?"
"Let's consider the poison that Yuzhixian was poisoned with."
Xia Hou Rui tried to recall the situation carefully, but still had no clue. He muttered to himself, "The poison that Yuzhixian was poisoned with was a kind of poison called cardiac glycoside, according to the coroner."
"Could this poison come from Ningxiang Pavilion?"
"Yes, this cardiac glycoside poison is contained in a flower called lily of the valley."
"And there's a pot of lily of the valley in the corner of the Ningxiang Pavilion's living room."
Xia Hou Rui couldn't help but get excited when he heard this, "Then what are we waiting for, second brother?"
"Just go to Ningxiang Pavilion and get him!"
"Right now, we've only narrowed down our target to Ningxiang Pavilion. There are so many people in Ningxiang Pavilion, how do you know who the murderer is?"
Xia Hou Rui quickly became like a deflated ball, and asked weakly, "Then what should we do?"
"If all else fails, capture all the people from Ningxiang Pavilion and interrogate them all."
"That's one way, but I've thought of a better one. Tonight, you and I will secretly sneak into Ningxiang Pavilion to find out what's going on."
"Everything will have an answer."
late at night.
Mu Yuan and Xiahou Rui changed into night clothes and secretly climbed over the wall to Ningxiang Pavilion.
They had to go to the living room first to see if the pot of lily of the valley was still there. Although he knew it was most likely not, nothing could disappear out of thin air.
Especially those extremely confident murderers, they are sure in their bones that they will not be found.
When they arrived at the living room, they searched everywhere but couldn't find the lily of the valley.
Most of them have been destroyed or moved to other places.
But Mu Yuan inexplicably felt that the murderer was a very conceited person. After so many days, he should have already concluded that the matter had come to nothing. After all, even if a brothel girl died, not many people would care.
He still didn't give up and didn't let go of any corner.
"Second brother, hurry up and hide!"
"It seems like someone is coming!"
Mu Yuan also heard the noise outside the door, and he quickly flew to the roof beam. After so many days of detoxification by Doctor Qin, he could now use his internal energy for a short period of time.
The moment the door was opened from the outside, through the moonlight, from his angle he saw Mu Hongrui lying under the table. Although covered by the tablecloth, one of his feet was still exposed...
He was watching with trepidation. Anyone who came here would definitely be discovered if they bent down while sitting down at the table!
Despite his worries, he still saw clearly the person coming, the shopkeeper Guo holding the candlestick.
He quickly closed the door and placed the candlestick on the table, his foot almost touching Lao Liu's exposed foot!
He did not go any further, but turned and walked to the tea cabinet on the right, opened the cabinet, and held the pot of white lily of the valley that was in full bloom with both hands!
It wouldn’t look so beautiful if it were just missing two lilies of the valley.
He actually raised his hand and began to caress the two vanishing flower stems. "Darling, I'm sorry. I have no choice but to destroy your beauty."
"You will forgive me, right?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to restore your damaged parts."
Although Xia Hou Rui couldn't see the perverted expression on Shopkeeper Guo's face, he could hear what he said, which was indeed a bit morbid...
Like what you say to a beautiful woman...
"Yu'er, don't blame me. I can't help myself."
"I pray every day that we will be a couple that everyone envies in our next life."
"Live the life you want..."
As Shopkeeper Guo was talking, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the pot of lily of the valley.
He stumbled hurriedly to the candlestick on the table, hoping to be closer to the candlelight so that he could see more clearly.
At this time, Xiahou Rui felt a sharp pain in his toes, but he didn't dare to breathe.
This shopkeeper Guo kicked his little toe hard!!!
Shopkeeper Guo was no longer aware of these details, but was counting the number of lily of the valley flowers over and over again. How could there be two fewer flowers?
He counted it last night, he can’t be wrong!
By the time she understood what was happening, her breathing had already started to quicken. She immediately let go of the lily of the valley and covered his chest with her hands. Her heart contracted violently, and then his tall body fell to the ground...
